Someone tell me I will be much happier if I make soup.

@AshleyNunn Soup doesn't sound like comfort food unless it's cold enough out there. Maybe chocolate?

user15026

It is cold here and I am tired so I am extra cold and really soup is like my go-to when I am feeling blah. I also have MANY MANY POTATOES

user15026

so they would make yummy soup

@AshleyNunn Oh then go for it!

user15026

10:04 PM

@badp I shall. I think a potato-leek-carrot-bacon soup is in order.

@AshleyNunn Soup makes everything better.

but also have some chocolate while the soup preps up

IN FACT ADD CHOCOLATE TO THE SOUP!!!!!

user15026

@badp You were doing so well til that

I also used about 300 exclamation points

Zeus damn it Google. I hate you. Pretty sure I just saw a major spoiler due to it doing one of those suggested search things.

10:06 PM

Here let me spell them out for you

I clearly just need to stop using the internet at all.

10:08 PM

@DwarfSlice Thank you much~

LessPop_MoreFizz

@OrigamiRobot Hours late reply, but this sounds like a pretty good reason to Smash Capitalism to me. (There are lots of other good reasons too. Everyone should Smash Capitalism.)

@LessPop_MoreFizz That's what the invisible hand is for, right??

I need faster internet

@Wipqozn do you have FibreOp?

RPi Awesomeness

@MBraedley Nio, no, no. I need faster internet

10:18 PM

@RPiAwesomeness Except you have little ability to change that.

RPi Awesomeness

60Kb/s average is worthy of the statement I need faster internet

@MBraedley exactly :P

@RPiAwesomeness That can't be right. Do a speed test

RPi Awesomeness

@MBraedley It's pretty bad...

Yea Star Fluxx arrived!

HAHAHA WRITING I WIN THIS TIME

RPi Awesomeness

10:22 PM

I am thinking that I lost a bunch of viewers by changing my blog's domain...oh bother.

FUCK YOU PROCRASTINATION

@spugsley Congratulations on your victory! You've slayed a mighty foe

RPi Awesomeness

@MBraedley Yes, those powerful, strong fow's

lol someone on Twitter just added me to their list "My Favorite Gays"

@RPiAwesomeness typo reply fail

RPi Awesomeness

10:23 PM

They've slain many a great and valiant person

I don't know if I should feel complimented or offended.

RPi Awesomeness

@MBraedley ikr xD

I HAVE SLAIN MANY FOWS

RPi Awesomeness

@spugsley What about Weasels?

Those are even worse!

Soo, I got the Tron: Legacy musics CD from the library ... and it doesn't work :(

@RPiAwesomeness Sad trombone.

RPi Awesomeness

10:24 PM

@RedRiderX :(

Burn a new CD and send it back to the library

RPi Awesomeness

@RedRiderX But...I can't read the CD...

lo, just got the speedkill achievement for malthael on T2.

RPi Awesomeness

Maybe Handbrake can read it...

@RPiAwesomeness Are you familiar with The Internet?

RPi Awesomeness

10:26 PM

@RedRiderX lol, I remember a vague reference to it...don't you have to have a modem or something like that?

I'm not sure, but I think a spider just flew through the air and attempted to dive bomb my face....

@RPiAwesomeness You haven't been going around pissing off spiders have you?

Because that's going to get you in trouble.

RPi Awesomeness

Anyways. BBL, food time!

So it looks like I'll be leaving my computer on tonight in order to download my TableTop Kickstarter digital rewards. Or indiegogo. My TableTop Season 3 crowd-funding rewards.

@RPiAwesomeness You know what they say, the average person eats 8 spiders in their lifetime.

@Yuuki I thought it was 8 a year

mostly in your sleep, mind you

10:34 PM

And you don't eat them per say, just swallow.

So, the problem is GetFileFromPathAsync().

><

@OrigamiRobot I have the stupid "To Arms!" quest at 49/50 if you want to grab that

one sec

Welp

So, apparently the NN3DS is going to be considered part of the 3DS family despite having some games exclusive to it.

10:38 PM

@MBraedley Bell Aliant FibreOp?

Or is back up now

@Chippies yes

@MBraedley I has it

the lowest available package, 50/30

user image

and it's not "up to 50/30", like most ISPs have

@Yuuki Nice hunting :D

So... I finally got into a closed beta.

Yay?

10:48 PM

@Yuuki Yes, you may Yay... wait.. for a game or for ... something else?

@James Dragon Age Keep. So it's sorta a game but not really a game.

@Yuuki You may still yay :) [gives stamp of approval]

I got into the google domains beta yesterday, hehe

@James Yay!

RPi Awesomeness

@Chippies OMG. SO jelly

@MBraedley Here:

Saaaad

Annnnnnd I am now down to the bug tht says 'occurs randomly after playing any game for 55m to 120m'

Sooo I get to game for the rest of the day :D

RPi Awesomeness

10:53 PM

@James You do bug testing?

@RPiAwesomeness No I write software but that is the bug QA sent me

RPi Awesomeness

That will hopefully be jumping to 1.5Mbps download....if my dad ever gets around to it :P

@James Ah

@James What software?

Game streaming software

RPi Awesomeness

@James Ah :)

Which one? There are many

@James Don't you agree that my internet speed is disgusting

really need to put Minecraft into our system so I can play.. I mean test that one :D

I work at atgames

10:55 PM

user image

I'm at work

New service soon (Might be today) open beta to the software

RPi Awesomeness

@murgatroid99 Okay, stopit

Faster than 99% of US...good gosh

@murgatroid99 Stop Pinging Yourself. Stop Pinging Yourself. Stop Pinging Yourself. (read that in the voice of stop hitting yourself)

RPi Awesomeness

eheheh

Apparently, we have Google Fiber level internet service

RPi Awesomeness

10:56 PM

/me cries

user image

It's no wonder I can only handle 360p on a good day :(

Gosh I hate my internet

@RPiAwesomeness You realize that's more than 60kb/s, right?

@James According to W|A, that server could be almost 200 miles away (if the signal goes at light speed)

RPi Awesomeness

@MBraedley Yeah...I just realized that...wonder how I thought it...

@murgatroid99 Oh well. It's still crap

@MBraedley I do indeed sir. It's quite fantastic.

@MBraedley I'm currently getting 50 up and 27 down.

RPi Awesomeness

/me sobs

11:01 PM

user image

Ooh. GMG sent me a 30% off voucher for Beyond Earth.

And a 25% off everything.

@murgatroid99 Except the speed of light down a fibre is about .66c

GMG?

RPi Awesomeness

STOPITSTOPITSTOPIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Sconibulus Green Man Gaming

11:02 PM

hmm, not familiar with them

@Wipqozn I need to talk to the building managers and get them to get Bell to string the fibre.

30% off Beyond Earth, I will do.

user15026

MY SOUP IS AMAZING

user15026

My dinner making thinking process: "I should make soup. Potato soup! Yes. Good. Oh, I got some leeks! Potato Leek soup! WAIT A SECOND I ALSO HAVE BACON! Potato Bacon Leek Soup! AND I HAVE CHEESE! ....YES THIS WILL BE AMAZING"

anyways, gaming time with the brothers.

RPi Awesomeness

11:03 PM

@AshleyNunn And my internet is crap. And I'm grumpy because everyone is showing off their fancy fast internet.

@AshleyNunn However, bacon/potatoe/leek/cheese soup is quite good

@AshleyNunn That sounds like awesome soup.

Q: Triggered escalations from cosmic signatures

When you have an exploration DED complex site escalation listed in your mission journal, is it possible for another party to discover that same escalation and beat you to the rewards, or are you free to pursue it at your leisure until the timer expires?

user15026

@RPiAwesomeness I might be able to make you feel better, hold on

RPi Awesomeness

@AshleyNunn OH NOES!

/me dives under a bush and hides

user15026

@Frank So far it is amazing (have to add the finishing cheese and bacon bits soon)

11:04 PM

@AshleyNunn It almost sounds like cheeseburger soup.

Just need a little bit of basil and parsely.

pizza for dinner

we lazy

Hello fellow peoples. I wish you are all be wells

And use chicken broth as the stock.

user15026

@Frank Sort of, but more cream, and parmesan instead of cheddar

@Ktash hai :3

11:05 PM

@spugsley Hi thar

How are you?

RPi Awesomeness

@Ktash Well...I don't hold much water. Dunno how good a well I'll be...but I'll try. Don't be too rough with the bucket...

@RPiAwesomeness If you weren't underage, there would be different response to this statement... As it stands, sure you do. You hold about 70% of your weight in water most of the time

RPi Awesomeness

@Ktash hohoho...very funny

user15026

@Ktash Hello :D

user15026

Holy crap my soup is amazing

11:11 PM

@AshleyNunn Hey :)

How are you, how is work?

user15026

@Ktash I am tired but happy, work is interesting. I am learning things about insurance and I feel smartr

Yay! Still so happy :)

I think I'm going to ask to be on drinks station the week of Nov. 7.

Since I doubt they'll let me request that day off.

user15026

Oh? Why?

@AshleyNunn YAY!

user15026

11:19 PM

@Ktash I would be happier if I wasn't tired, but I bought some Red Bull to help me through the rest of of this week (because tomorrow /thursday/friday I work both jobs, so 8:30-4:30 at newjob then go home and work 7pm-1am on oldjob from home, and then work 4-1am sat/sun for oldjob)

@AshleyNunn O_o omg

RPi Awesomeness

@AshleyNunn Oh my

gonna be making all the monies

sigh Decided to finally talk to my ISP about why I'm only getting half my advertised speeds.

user15026

@spugsley This is what I keep telling myself

user15026

11:20 PM

although it means that oldjob needs to pay me

The answer: they never subscribed me for the service I was paying for.

user15026

(I need to poke them about that)

@AshleyNunn do try and take care of yourself. Did you give a two weeks notice?

user15026

@spugsley I did that last wednesday, as soon as I handed over the paperwork to accept my new job

or are you trying to do both?>

11:20 PM

@AshleyNunn Oooh, that sounds rough :/

@AshleyNunn ah ok :)

user15026

@Ktash At least oldjob is just support evenings so it shouldn't be too awful as long as no one fucks up too badluy

@AshleyNunn That's good. And only have to do it for a little while

and then it will be all new job :)

user15026

Yeah, I figure I can survive it

I have determined that my ISP consists of idiots.

11:26 PM

@Frank Isn't that every ISP

@Ktash It could very well be.

But I can't speak of other ISPs.

Except Shaw.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Windows 9 10?

@Ktash A new Windows 10 build

Dangit, I hate library CDs so much. People never take care of them and then they're all scratched up and useless :P

LessPop_MoreFizz

I was fine in Montreal, but Quebec is a lot more thoroughly french.

RPi Awesomeness

@LessPop_MoreFizz xD

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Oh, you're in Quebec proper now, aren't you?

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:33 PM

@AshleyNunn Yeah, Quebec City, wooooo :/

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Haha yeah it's not all that

user15026

And very French

@LessPop_MoreFizz There's none of us there?

French cuisine is weird. Canadian French cuisine probably is weirder.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp define 'us'?

this chatroom

user15026

11:34 PM

@badp Aye, it is

LessPop_MoreFizz

And yes, Canadian French cuisine is bizarre. It's basically rotisserie chicken, pastrami, and Poutine. And nothing else.

Maybe @JasonBerkan could help.

@LessPop_MoreFizz You don't need anything else.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Also tourtiere

user15026

(mmmm meat pie)

user15026

11:35 PM

(although it is more a wintery wintery Christmassy food)

Huh

English wikipedia says pastrami is Jewish

Italian wikipedia says pastrami is Romanian

user15026

Also, do you mean Montreal Smoked Meat? because that is not pastrami, pastrami is not as good.

RPi Awesomeness

@badp I'd go w. the Italian one. They seem to know their stuff about pasta

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Yeah, it is not actually Pastrami, they call it 'Smoked Meat' and it is subtly different, and a little bit worse, but I was simplifying.

Romanian wikipedia says pastrami is 'murican

RPi Awesomeness

11:36 PM

Right now's Listening: Approaching Nirvana - ANimals

LessPop_MoreFizz

@RPiAwesomeness Pastrami is not Pasta.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz NO SHUT YOUR FACEHOLE IT IS BETTER

LessPop_MoreFizz

Also, Italian Wiki is wrong. English/Romanian wiki are both right, because it is basically an American Jewish thing.

@AshleyNunn this

LessPop_MoreFizz

@AshleyNunn Next time you come to NY we are going to Katz's and you are eating your words. And also Pastrami.

11:37 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Romanian wiki says it's American Romanian

> Pastrama a fost adusă și în Statele Unite acum mai bine de 100 de ani de imigranți români.[necesită citare]

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp That is not correct.

RPi Awesomeness

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, okay, food

But necesită citare

so...

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz I've had pastrami here! MSM is WAY BETTER.

RPi Awesomeness

@badp dang. Wikipedia needs to get its act together

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:38 PM

@AshleyNunn Your Pastrami is not Katz's, in much the same way as whatever Smoked Meat you get in toronto is not Schwartzes.

user15026

(I once read a whole book about delis, it was weird)

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Aye, true enough.

montreal smoked meat is the shit

Why not just go for pasta and call it a day

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp I did this tonight, and it was pretty bad pasta tbqh.

11:39 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Well, yes, french pasta is wrong.

user15026

@DwarfSlice YES. Especially on a sandwich with sauerkraut and mustard and things

Gonna see if I can get a couple free months of internet out of my ISP for the screwup they made.

They use non-durum wheat

user20683

In summary: MEAT!!!

NON-DURUM WHEAT

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:39 PM

@badp It was a so-called italian restaurant.

@LessPop_MoreFizz for canadian french tastes

LessPop_MoreFizz

@badp Indeed. And it was bad.

Well french pasta really isn't pasta to begin with, so I don't see the problem!!

I wonder if they also screw up pizza.

As a NYC'er I probably wouldn't try that though.

NY'er?

conoisseur

user15026

Yeah, it's just going to likely be like chain stuff or equivalent

RPi Awesomeness

@AshleyNunn You never provided me with comfort!

37 mins ago, by Ashley Nunn

@RPiAwesomeness I might be able to make you feel better, hold on

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:42 PM

@badp New Yorker is appropriate for both denizens of the city and the state.

And yeah, I can tell without even trying it that the pizza is going to be godawful. It was terrible in Montreal. it must be worse here.

user15026

@RPiAwesomeness I was going to run a speedtest to make you feel better but I did and it looks like the upstairs people upgraded to a bit better than shitty internet

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz This is a correct conclusion

LessPop_MoreFizz

Montreal was saved by it's many delights of asian and middle eastern and jewish food. Here in Quebec City, it's just rotisserie chicken and poutine as far as the eye can see.

RPi Awesomeness

@AshleyNunn oh, lol

@AshleyNunn How bad was it?

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeeeeeep

11:43 PM

user image

user15026

@RPiAwesomeness Before? 2 down and roughly 0.5 up? Something like that

user15026

It's doubled now

@LessPop_MoreFizz Everybody loves rotisserie chicken

RPi Awesomeness

What I wanna know, is why the heck does Firefox keep reverting to an English (UK) dictionary...I am definitely an American

user15026

@DwarfSlice I don't super love it tbh

11:44 PM

@AshleyNunn everybody

user15026

Like I hate when peoiple are like OMG SWISS CHALET IS THE SHIT

RPi Awesomeness

@AshleyNunn It's better than what I have

user15026

because it is shit, without the definite article

@AshleyNunn St. Hubert's > Swiss Chalet

user15026

@DwarfSlice We dont have that down here

LessPop_MoreFizz

11:44 PM

@DwarfSlice Meh. It's kind of boring.

Swiss Chalet has aweome fries, and this delicious flatbread sandwich thing

@AshleyNunn We don't have it here either :(

user15026

@DwarfSlice I like their fries, yes

user15026

but everything else is ehhh

user15026

And if I just want fries, well, then New York Fries is the way to go

Q: Do kittens eventually smelter zero gold?

I have an increasing need for gold, but haven't made it to geologists yet (with the upgrade). I've taken to building more and more smelters. The flavour text says that an additional smelter will add 0.00 gold. My gold per tick has been stuck on 0.02 for some time, despite producing an additional ...

Like the question asks, can I have an R9 290 video card on a AMD 760G Chipset motherboard? The computer I'm buying is a CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 Desktop and it comes with the AMD 760G Chipset. I'm also purchasing a 650 watt PSU because the 500 watt that comes with it is not enough.
